Abstract:
Image fusion is the process of combining relevant information from a set of images into a single image in
which the fused image contains more information than any of the input images. This technique improves the quality
of data. Image fusion is one of the important re-processing steps in digital image reconstruction. Now-a-days,
medical image fusion is one of the upcoming fields which helps in easy diagnostics and helps to bring down the time
gap between the diagnosis of the disease and the treatment. In Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI), anatomy and soft
tissues are visible and it has high spatial resolution. In Computed Tomography (CT) images bony structures appears
brighter. Analysis is done to determine the image fusion algorithm which is more suitable for clinical diagnosis.
Analysis is also done on image quality assessment parameters of image fusion. This paper presents image fusion
techniques and image quality assessment parameters such as primitive fusion (Averaging Method, Select Maximum,
and Select Minimum), Discrete Wavelet transform based fusion, Principal component analysis (PCA) based fusion
etc. Comparison of all the techniques concludes the better approach for its future research.
Keywords : - Image Fusion, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Principal Component Analysis (PCA),
Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR).

INTRODUCTION :
Image Fusion is a process of combining
the relevant information from a set of
images, into a single image, such that the
resultant fused image will be more
informative and complete than any of the
input images. For example, CT and MR
images may be fused as an aid to medical
diagnosis. MR and visible images may be
fused as an aid to pilots landing in poor
weather condition or microwave and visible
images may be fused to detect weapons. The
